Well, these reverse 911/ emergency calls aren't exactly timely.  Just got a robocall telling people around FM116/FM580 to take cover.  That's Pidcoke.  That storm is already in/ past Gatesville.

Thanks man.  Got the wife and the dog in the closet.  Sirens went off.  Hasn't gotten here yet but I'm on south side of temple so the salado rotation was troubling.

Just for what it's worth, I'm not showing any low level rotation on my radar. There is some mid and upper level rotation. Bear in mind that I'm not the NWS.

I wanted to watch the NWS chat to see what they talk about, get a more heads up.

Went to the website, and at the bottom it says this:

"Note: Individuals, companies, or other entities involved in ‘chasing’ weather events and posting or streaming text or pictures of the event, but do not otherwise have a need to communicate with NWS do not meet the qualifications for this Service, regardless of the number of ‘followers’ or recipients."

Little snobbery there I think.

I'm west of Bee Cave in Spicewood on a hill. I can't see any flooding but it's been pouring for hours. I drove over the Perdenales River on Hwy 71 yesterday and it had pretty swift water probably 20 to 30 feet deep and 50 yards wide. It was dry a few weeks ago.

I have over $40K in damage from the hail storm two weeks ago.

I'm in Farmers Branch, just NW of downtown Dallas and the worst of it just passed over me with about 2 minutes of hard rainfall and a lot of thunder.  Now it's barely sprinkling.



The strong storms always seem to peter out right before they get to this area.

Report is Bee Cave road is closed due to high water. That was at 2:17.

Just for what it's worth, I'm not showing any low level rotation on my radar. There is some mid and upper level rotation. Bear in mind that I'm not the NWS.



<snip>



 




I wanted to watch the NWS chat to see what they talk about, get a more heads up.



Went to the website, and at the bottom it says this:



"Note: Individuals, companies, or other entities involved in ‘chasing’ weather events and posting or streaming text or pictures of the event, but do not otherwise have a need to communicate with NWS do not meet the qualifications for this Service, regardless of the number of ‘followers’ or recipients."



Little snobbery there I think.  






I called 2 tornados today....before the NWS issued warnings for them. I'm not the NWS...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once. The NWS also certified me as an 'Advanced SKYWARN Spotter'.





I just don't want to see people get hurt and killed needlessly.

 











Doing the SKYWARN thing has been something I've wanted to do for a while, but never got around to it.  I just looked at the schedule, and all the classes were in feb/march it seems.  No more classes.  

This course has been officially designated by the NWS as a nationally-uniform training course for all SKYWARN Spotters.  This course can be taken as a substitute for or a supplement to the face-to-face SKYWARN Spotter training sessions held in every WFO.  Check with your local WFO for any additional requirements or recommendations.




Now you have no excuse.

I don't know that they did. I just identified their radar signatures and posted my findings here....before the NWS identified them and issued tornado warnings.

They just opened the flood gates at Tom Miller. Bull Creek and Shoal Creek will probably tops their banks, and they are close right now. Haven't heard anything about Onion.

Low water Crossings are all closed.


ETA: Austin.

Well, these reverse 911/ emergency calls aren't exactly timely.  Just got a robocall telling people around FM116/FM580 to take cover.  That's Pidcoke.  That storm is already in/ past Gatesville.

Same thing in Cedar Park. We had the kids in an interior closet and the warning was canceled, we walked out to a ringing phone telling us to seek shelter.




Thanks guys.

Here on the west side of DFW it looks like we are done with the rain for awhile. East Texas is just getting started.

Hewitt checking in. Without power for over an hour. Heavy rain and strong winds but no tornadoes spotted. Plenty of fuel for the generator so no worries.
